What is RSS?

RSS (or Really Simple Syndication) feeds are free content feeds from Web sites, including this Web site, that contain article headlines, summaries and links back to full-text articles on the web.

What tools do I need to use RSS?

To start using RSS, you need a special news reader or aggregator that displays RSS content feeds from Web sites you select. There are many different news readers available, many of which are free of charge. Most are available as desktop software that you download and install on your computer. Several Web-based news readers are available as well.

Once you have set up your news reader, you simply subscribe to the RSS content feeds you want.

What are the benefits of using RSS?

RSS is an easy way for you to be alerted when content that interests you appears on your favorite Web sites. Instead of visiting a particular Web site to browse for new articles and features, RSS automatically tells you when something new is posted online.

Click on the XML button (XML button) or the RSS (XML icon ) buton, on the Web page to obtain the RSS URL. You will see the URL in the "Address" field of your browser. Simply copy this URL and follow the instructions for your particular news reader to subscribe.

What type of information will the CreatiVisibility RSS feed to my news reader?

CreatiVisibility's news and marketing section of this Web site serves as a resource for you and your business. When a new marketing, print, or Web article or press release is posted on the news page, the XML feed is also updated and you will get a notice on your news reader.

If you prefer not to set up or check a news reader, you can sign up to have an email sent to you automatically when a new article is posted. Visit the news page or the marketing articles page for more information.
